Camp Samish will be from Thursday, August 22 at 8 am to Sunday, August 25 at noon. Camp Samish is an alcohol, drug and tobacco free event. Thursday check-in begins at 8 am at the registration table in the main lodge. Please stop by the registration table prior to picking out your cabins.

Join us for cultural crafts, language learning, storytelling, and more! The crafts we have planned are bracelets, wool headbands, pouches, beading, walking sticks, cedar weaving and making cedar fish pendants. Additionally, we will have a table for making giveaways for the Burke Museum, Bill and the Carving Shed, and a beach walk on Thursday and Friday.

On Saturday of Camp Samish, we are fortunate to have well-known storytellers, a violinist, stirring motivational speakers, Swil Kanim, Peter Ali, and JP Falcon. Their lives have been full of obstacles, and trauma, and they spread what they have learned so far to help them heal and for us to heal. This appearance will be August 24, at 2:00 pm at Camp Samish.

Come for the day or stay the night. Space is still available. Samish members and their households are invited to attend. For more information, please contact Sally Barrett at 360-929-0112.
